ACTION’s obsequious toadies fluffing Mayor Rattenbury’s klout

One of the worse thing about living in 2013 is the paid government operatives cluttering social media applauding each other and laughing at their bosses jokes. (That this is one of the worse things is probably a good reflection on how far we’ve come).

Unlike some other taxpayer funded propaganda and back-slapping, at least this doesn’t involve killing trees – although it does still involve wasting money which has been compulsorily extracted from the public, and which might be better used doing truly useful things. I tend to think of this sort of crap when I hear Government spokespersonages explaining that “yes, public services may cost more in Canberra than elsewhere In Australia, but the Canberra public demands, and is prepared to pay for, quality” – yeah, right.
